krust is always worth listening to (if you can find some way to do that w/o
having to buy it), because sometimes he's onto something really cool.
matrix isn't nearly as status quo as you think, his brother optical is the
big name in the field. matrix tends to be quite a bit more soulful & groovy
than optical--to my ears. i do have to say that my head is much more into
things like "pull the plug"--but that style isn't real popular w/the
junglist crowds. my buddy that's deeper into it than i, says that even the
elektricity guys are getting more techy than in the past.

having heard their previous album (damn, name escapes me, but i think it had
something to do w/archetecture), *moving cities* didn't really work for me
either. find out what their previous album was and check it out. the only
reason i didn't buy it is that i'm not a house dj. get your ears near some
ashley beedle stuff--you're missing out!! btw, he doesn't always do house,
but that's what he's known for.
